8"Email" trash bin (unique to the "Email" application).

As soon as an email is deleted from the "Email" application, it is sent to the "Email" trash folder.

 If you delete an email that was received more than 30 days beforehand, it will be automatically destroyed once sent to the trash folder and after the email application is closed (it's the act of closing your email that empties out the trash folder). 

To visualize the contents of your trash folder, simply click on "Trash".
